It stopped working completely, idk what was wrong with it, so i wasted my money on it. I just threw it in the trash.

Yes, it works great. The dock adapter plates are formed to fit the iPhone 1, 2, and 3 without a case on the phone. The only caveat is that it does not include an fitted dock plate for the iPhone 4 / 4s, so you have to use it without an adapter plate. This doesn't affect the functionality though, just the way it sits in the dock. I have a case on my iPhone 4s anyway so I'd have to use it without an adapter plate regardless.I will confirm Mitchell V. Grossman's point that it is quite bright. I usually have to turn it away from me in the bed, or face the other direction when sleeping. The button placement takes some getting used to, but after a week or two you won't have a problem.

no, the case needs to be removed to fit into the dock so both cannot be used simultaneously.

You can't really dock anything, but you can plug your phone into it without removing the case.

No, not needed. The vib buttons on both the case and the iphone have to be at the same position (both on or both off) while the installation. You can tey to reinstall it and see it this helps.

Unfortunately, no... the dock is designed to securely hold the device's exact dimensions only. Any case the phone is in must be removed before you can place it in the dock. This is especially important because even if you could successfully force the device into the dock, while in a protective case, the permanently-mounted connector which provides power (for charging), can optionally deliver audio to an external device (your car stereo) and, most importantly, activates the vehicle dock home screen and it's associated features, will no longer line up, and so would not connect.

I have an iPhone 4 with a fairly thin cover and it fits fine. If your cover is overly thick on the bottom (by the charge port) it could be an issue. The charger dock does have a fairly deep recess to it which I imagine is designed to accept larger cases. Hope that helps

Yes, the phone will not fit onto a dock with the case in place; but no, the case does not have to be removed to charge with the Apple-supplied charger.

I do not have the charging dock. I have no problem plugging in the cord. I would expect the case would have to be removed to work on a dock. The edge is raised and very thick. The charger port is now recessed about a quarter of an inch deep. The case is very easy to remove.

No that's the case I have on my phones and to use the the dock u have to take out of the case

Yes, you have to remove the phone from the case to place it in the dock. I prefered the soft rubber case which came off easily, but if you use a hard case that is timely to remove, you may want to reconsider the dock.

My case needed to be removed before placing it on the dock- I think most would need to e removed

No you don't. The cover has a little flap that protects where the charger goes into the device and folds out of the way when the ipod is charging.

No. As a matter of fact it will only fit the phone itself with no covers. And lately it has vibrating itself out of the dock if I get a text in the middle of the night. Therefore I wake up to an uncharged phone.

Apple sells a Universal dock adapter for the iphone 4. It costs $9 for a pack of 3. I use this adapter for my iphone 4 and it fits perfectly. I bought mine from the apple store but you can by it from apple online or over the phone.You won't be able to put the phone on the dock w/o taking w/e case you have off first. Another option you have is to dock your phone without an adapter but it isn't too secure, this might damage your phone or the dock itself. Some people prefer this because they can leave their case on and dock it. I would check out the adapter from apple. Cheers. Apple sells a Universal dock adapter for the iphone 4.

You do not need to remove the cover to charge the phone if you are using the Apple cable that came with the phone.
